[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1948846, member: 396914"] Thanks, Randy. More research has discovered that what I was referring to with macOS is "quarantine," (now called "provenance"), a process that blocks any non-App Store app from running until it is thoroughly vetted. Here are a few good articles to explain the process: [URL unfurl="true"]https://eclecticlight.co/2022/09/09/app-first-run-quarantine-and-translocation/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://eclecticlight.co/2023/03/13/ventura-has-changed-app-quarantine-with-a-new-xattr/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://eclecticlight.co/2023/03/19/last-week-on-my-mac-providence-and-provenance/[/URL] A search at eclecticlight.co for "provenance" and "quarantine" will yield a treasury of articles on how Apple blocks un-vetted applications from taking significant actions without being thoroughly checked by the system and then permitted by the user. Personal experience for me is that every app I have recently installed has required me to grant access to them in Settings. I guess that's part of "provenance" and not "sandboxing." [/QUOTE]
